Pretty day:

bird song rose sky

many I have loved

far away:

 

you came to call

after all this time

a strange small man

who crossed a line

 

& once had tried to own me.

 

Pretty day

fox in the hedge

another year another tale

right on the edge of telling

 

I started tall

have grown so stiff

full throttle living

of all of this.

 

Pretty day

you came to call

those kohl rimmed eyes

& rainbow tears

 

but it’s true that  I felt

 

nothing.
